my right to privacy

nor anyone else's right to privacy, simply because they have a passion for speaking against abortion. Nothing prevents the speech of those who would protest, regardless of whether they are told to stand behind a yellow line,

or ten blocks away.

Their free speech is impinged in neither case.

It is the Patients right to privacy that this SCOTUS would place at risk.

And if these mutherfukers are so beholden to right wing scum and other assorted repelican ne'er do wells . . . then all I can say is

if money equals free speech

then so does lead.

.

and you fukin editorial freaks and your fuking capslock can take a flyjng fukc on a rolling donut. SCOTUS is an acronym - any of you mutherfukers know what that is?

If SCOTUS does strike down Massachusetts law in this matter, then Massachusetts should, nay MUST stand upon the Ninth Amendment of the United States Constitution and thus inform SCOTUS of their relevance to American civics thanks entirely to the conservative corruption that has not only ravaged our entire political system but the judiciary as well.

Problem with banning protestors at Abortion Clinics - IS - it feeds the ability to ban all protests at all sites - like at the RNC or at the DNC or on wallstreet etc etc etc.

That being said - the protests should be policed to keep them from going violent and keep them from harassing ( hands off - get out of my face - say your piece but do not interfere with my access/movement ) individuals entering or attempting to enter the clinics - the same goes for individuals leaving the clinics.

The big event is Tuesday, January 21 which is the actual anniversary of the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court ruling.

Legalize Democracy will air at 9:00pm Eastern, followed by additional interviews and programming by Move to Amend and supporters. Then the station will show a talk by Move to Amend National Leadership Team member Ashley Sanders.

Invite a group of friends to join you to watch the show!

Legalize Democracy will air these additional times next week as well (all times Eastern):

We want to thank once again the literally hundreds of people who crowd-funded the making of this film!

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.

I wholeheartedly agree. We would all do well to heed the warning of Henry Wallace on this subject:

" If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States. There are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful. ... They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead...
The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power. It is no coincidence that the growth of modern tyrants has in every case been heralded by the growth of prejudice. It may be shocking to some people in this country to realize that, without meaning to do so, they hold views in common with Hitler when they preach discrimination..."

Caused by pro-Democrap dork trolls who constantly censor others because they fear the truth. They can't "win" arguments by discussion, so they need to censor instead. Weak. Being an occupier, a radical, I refuse all forms of censorship and will use civil disobedience against them.

Read the argument above. You are a pro-Democrap dork troll who talks about asses all day and who uses censorship to diminish the plurality of thought on this forum. To occupy is to refuse censorship. If I wasn't using multiple IDs I wouldn't be doing what occupiers are supposed to do. And that is to resist illegitimate authority.

I fucking love this post. While I'm not sure I would have used the same language, I do share the same passion expressed by it so I don't disapprove. I've been thinking exactly along this same line of reasoning lately, particularly as it applies to abortion rights which more correctly expressed as the right to privacy.
Protest of abortion clinics is OK as long they don't go so far as to infringe upon of others, particularly the rights of those who choose to have abortions or, again, their right to privacy.

Oh, you know, these people don't want to talk to the women that are entering a facility. They attempt to shame, humiliate, scream, yell, and terrorize the women. Sometimes they go so far as to threaten them with death. Then there are those, obviously, confused with free speech and bombs.

You know what would be lovely? Bikers that would escort in the same manner that they protect the mourners from the WBC.

That said, these are the only questions that the SCOTUS can answer:
Issue: (1) Whether the First Circuit erred in upholding Massachusetts’s selective exclusion law – which makes it a crime for speakers other than clinic “employees or agents . . . acting within the scope of their employment” to “enter or remain on a public way or sidewalk” within thirty-five feet of an entrance, exit, or driveway of “a reproductive health care facility” – under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, on its face and as applied to petitioners; (2) whether, if Hill v. Colorado permits enforcement of this law, Hill should be limited or overruled. link

I find it very odd that those who fiercely guard state rights in the name of freedom neglect the 9th. It is, by and large, proposed by the same individuals that seek to erode the 14th amendment. If it wasn't so damn sickening it would almost be funny (in an insane way) because these clowns would obviously lose incorporation of the 2nd amendment.
